The judge for the Amateur Artists Exhibition, Jane Youngquist, and several of the winners of prizes will gather to discuss their work and talk about how they became interested in the arts.

There will be free refreshments available and no admission charge. All members of the public are invited to attend. If you have an idea for an arts program for OFTA, please call Jim De Young at 734-5529 or e-mail him at jdeyoung@maplecity.com.
